The Life Studio

I have been seeing Colleen regularly for a year now. I started going to her during my 3^rd pregnancy for chiropractic work to avoid painful back labor, not expecting to do cranial sacral work. But we did, and it was one of the most therapeutic experiences I’ve ever had. Better yet, I felt the baby’s presence at just 12 weeks and at every session thereafter felt deeply connected. At 37 weeks, my baby was not in an optimal position for birth, and I told Colleen this. After our session, that very evening the baby flipped herself (ouch!) and got to the place she needed to be. It was surreal.
When my daughter was born, she had a upper lip frenulum and a posterior tongue-​tie. We had the lip tie cut, but Colleen was able to significantly help my baby overcome her nursing issues thereby eliminating the need to cut the posterior tongue-​tie. The baby was also very low in my womb which caused her to develop torticollis. Physical therapy and again Colleen’s magic and the baby is thriving. Colleen has truly been a gift in our lives. Every mama and baby deserves her healing touch and innate wisdom. Oh, and by the way, all the work she did on my body during pregnancy made for a very smooth birth and I had no back labor this time around!

Colleen is truly amazing. She has a calm, relaxing, and reassuring presence that puts you at ease. Her office also lovely. I went to her for breech presentation in pregnancy and had tried everything to flip the baby. After an hour with her the baby flipped that afternoon! No coincidence. My husband now goes to her and I plan on taking my baby in after the birth. She is a wonderful healer.

I couldn’t recommend Colleen more highly. I am a hairdresser with all sorts of pain and issues with my body. From my very first session she was able to give me a remarkable amount of relief. She is a warm, compassionate deeply aware individual who is highly skilled in her work. I feel very fortunate to have found her.

I warmly and deeply recommend The Life Studio and Colleen Lindstrom as a chiropractor and a healer. My family has been visiting frequently during the last year and we all — including our 3 children — love it. She is able to meet you where you are and lift your wellbeing to a higher level. No matter if you are more or less into the alternative/​spiritual way of thinking, she is able to work with you. Go see her and you might just will feel like dancing home from her sweet office in Sausalito. The first time we met Colleen she helped us with an acute neck problem with our son, and since then we have been coming regularly. Now we mostly take a family visit once a month and it is one of the best investments for our family’s wellbeing.

Just returned from a session with Colleen. How do I put in to words what an amazing healer she is… healing mind, body and spirit? Each time I visit Colleen, I leave with a more open heart and mind. My discoveries have helped me transform areas of my life and enhance my personal and professional relationships.
Colleen’s energy is invigorating and electric. I must talk about her every day when people ask me how it is that I am embracing the universe in this new way.
She is a true gift!

Dr Colleen is the absolute best and was so instrumental for our newborn’s health and well-​being. Our baby had a trauma post birth and spent her first 3 days away from me (mom), in the NICU. When we brought her in to Dr. Colleen, she was able to get in tune with her and give the adjustment and movement she needed to move her through the trauma and into her body. We watched and participated with amazement. Our daughter has been happy and present since. In the 3^rd appointment we brought our daughter to at 11 weeks, Dr. Colleen completed her session with our daughter early and then adjusted my husband. She was quickly able to identify an issue with his shoulder he had had for almost a year, and help him. We will definitely be coming to Dr. Colleen for our family for our health support needs! We could not recommend her warm, gentle, in tune, gifted services higher!

Colleen is amazing and has a gift with babies. My 4-​month old daughter was having problems nursing. She frequently refused the breast, which was very distressing because she just wouldn’t eat. I visited the pediatrician and a few lactation consultants several times to try and pinpoint the problem. There was no tongue tie or nipple confusion and no one could give me answers. They simply told me she was a distracted eater. I knew deep down that there was something else wrong with her. She seemed to be in physical pain anytime she would try to nurse, pulling back and crying. I heard that babies who go through long labors may experience trauma during the birth process and that CST may help alleviate some problems. Colleen came highly recommended.
Our first visit was absolutely amazing. Colleen was so warm and gentle with my daughter. With Colleen’s magic touch, my daughter was able to latch on and nurse right there in the office! This was such a surprise since we had been having problems since my daughter was 6 weeks old. She told me my instinct was right and that my daughter had some issues with her neck and sacrum. Since the first and subsequent visits my daughter continues to improve. With the treatment it almost feels like she is a different baby. Completely happy and a sweet cuddly girl when she is nursing. I’m so happy I found Colleen!!!

Dr. Colleen is so much more than a chiropractor. She is a gifted healer and amazingly intuitive. She listens to the person and the body and works accordingly always doing what is best for the patient. I teach childbirth education and tell my new parents about Colleen because she is also very gifted with babies. I love Colleen and just have to tell you that if you go in with preconceived ideas and expect «traditional» chiropractic care, you might be disappointed. But, if you go in with and open mind and trust you will receive a beautiful gift and come out feeling so much better than when you went in. She is an angel in a human body.

I approach chiropractic as legitimate medical treatment and want to experience it as such. Life Studio felt more like smoke and mirrors. Colleen spent the whole time telling me enthusiastically how great I was going to feel, prompting me continually with chirpy ‘isn’t this awesome?!?’ dialogue. She didn’t manage to follow through with the actual adjustment however and then attributed this to me ‘being fearful’ or ‘not being ready.’ It wasn’t a bad experience (setting was nice enough), just a waste of time. If you want to hang out barefoot on furniture made of driftwood, buy overpriced tea and bath salts, and excitedly discuss your energy, this is your place. If you have pain and actually need an adjustment, there are better, more efficient places.

Go see Dr. Colleen. Take your kids. Take your babies. You will not regret it. Started in pregnancy, brought my 3 day old in, and the whole family has gone since. I only wish I could go more often. Love, love, love.

Amazing and great for the whole family! My wife first saw her while pregnant and totally helped her with her pregnancy issues. Now our new born baby is seeing her to help him ‘unwind’ and he is always in such a better mood and a happy baby. And yes, now I am getting adjusted too. If you end up loving her skills in the first couple visits, you should totally buy her ‘package’ deal to save a couple bucks… She is worth every penny!

I began seeing Colleen during my pregnancy. My baby was transverse in the womb and I heard that seeing chiropractor could help. The very next day he turned head down and was ready for birth! My husband and I went back with the baby a few weeks after he was born on the recommendation of our midwife and pediatrician. The family visits are amazing! We each got some adjusting from Colleen and we all left feeling great. In fact, my husband scheduled his own appointment for the following week. At our 2 week check up Colleen again tended to the whole family. She did amazing work with the baby and got his plates in his head all smoothed out. He is a calmer and more relaxed baby and his sleep has also improved! We are all looking forward to our next appointment in 2 months, we kinda wish she would have said we needed to come in more often! Colleen has great positive energy and you will leave feeling the love.

The Life Studio and Dr. Colleen Lindstrom are as good as it gets! We began seeing her shortly after our son way born, he was a tight little guy, pretty rigid in his ways, and sleeping like a newborn (not as much as we wanted him to).
With her help and treatment he quickly transformed into a loose, flexible baby, and her techniques were fabulous. She is one of the kindest, fun, and loving people. Very open and honest.
We have since made appointments with her for the whole family, and I have been very happy with the results.
She is for sure meeting with, we would not be recommending her otherwise.

Colleen is infectious with her positive healing touch. She creates a safe, non-​judgemental space for anyone walking through her doors. And she’s incredibly excited about helping families feel better and stay that way. It’s clear she’s doing what she loves.
I’ve been to Colleen off and on since 2009 (maybe sooner?). She helped me through the most horrible back pain from my second pregnancy. She’s since worked with my husband, my one year old and my three year old — who is absolutely in love with her! She has a gift with the little ones… listening to their bodies in a way that I can’t even understand.
She’s on a career trajectory that is catapulting her into another realm. It wouldn’t surprise me if she’s famous one day.

Dr Colleen Lindstrom is amazing. Everything the previous reviewers posted is entirely true, so I won’t be repetative. Colleen worked on me and my baby several times. The first time she worked on my baby I kept saying how immediately after I had a zen baby! She even sat with us when I was struggling with breastfeeding and did energy work on the two of us in hopes of improving the drama we were having.
I really can’t recommend her enough, she is fantastic!

Dr. Colleen Lindstrom is a wonderful chiropractor! I have been a patient of hers for over three years. She has significantly helped to heal and relieve my neck and shoulder pain. I really value how much she has listened to me and taken time to get to know me as a patient — and friend! I also value her approach, taking time to rid the body of negative energy before adjusting. I have never felt better!
As a mom, I’m also very happy that her office is kid-​friendly. If I need to bring my two kids, it’s never a problem. In fact, sometimes our appointments focus on my kids, too. She has adjusted my four-​year-​old many times. It’s especially helpful when my son has a cold, for example, and needs to get his body back on track. The last time he was adjusted he said, «My body needed that!» after we left.
Dr. Lindstrom also adjusted my five-​month-​old daughter shortly after she was born to address some gas pains the baby was having. The best part was that Dr. Lindstrom offered me some help by showing me some things I could try with my daughter at home. It was most helpful!
Overall, Dr. Lindstrom is great. Not only is she a committed chiropractor, but she is a committed Sausalito resident and really cares about the community and people with which she works.

Dr. Colleen Lindstrom is a gifted healer. After being in a car accident and experiencing extreme neck and shoulder pain, I went to to see Dr Lindstrom. What I find remarkable about her is that she doesn’t simply perform a chiropractic adjustment in the traditional sense. She uses her incredible knowledge of the body combined with her understanding of energy and healing to create deep and lasting results. When I leave Dr. Lindstrom’s office I don’t simply feel physically better. I feel an incredible energy and a deep sense of peace and wellbeing. If you want a transformative healing experience I recommend you see Dr. Lindstrom.

My first chiropractic experience has been with Colleen which was absolutely amazing. When I was 11 weeks pregnant I started feeling lower back pain and decided to go see Colleen. Later I discovered that I was carrying twin boys. I saw Colleen about once a month and was pain free throughout my pregnancy. I was so looking forward to my visits with her since I felt so rejuvenated a few days after a treatment and I knew that it will help me keeping my babies safe inside until full term. My boys were born at 39 weeks; both were breeched so I had a c-​section. I decide to take them both to see Colleen when they were about 2.5 months. It is hard to describe in words how powerful theses sessions were. As a mom I was so grateful to witness how comfortable they both were with Colleen. It felt as if they are sharing their birth story with us and re-​experiencing their birth in a safe, gentle and welcoming way. My husband and I kept saying that one of the boys was so much happier and calmer after one treatment. I am so thankful that both my babies and I got the exceptional care given by Colleen.
